Red fermented beancurd paste aka 'Nam Yue' Chicken ~ 南乳鸡


I've made spare ribs with red fermented beancurd paste before and today I'm sharing with you a chicken dish with these cubes of bean curd that have been preserved in fermented red rice and other seasonings.  No aftermath cleaning of the kitchen was needed as I didn't deep fry these chicken pieces, only cooked them in a non-stick pan, with lid on!



Recipe for Red-fermented Beancurd Chicken aka 'Nam Yue' Chicken ~  南乳鸡 

Ingredients                                        

  • 750 gm drumsticks and whole leg of chicken
  • 1 piece red-fermented beancurd, mashed
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 20 gm ginger, pounded and juiced
  • 4 to 6 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1.1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp light soya sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dark soya sauce
  • 50 ml water to add to the mashed red-fermented beancurd
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp Shoaxing wine to drizzle
Method
  1. Marinate the chicken with the mashed beancurd, honey, ginger juice, minced garlic, sugar, light and dark soya sauce and a pinch of salt.  (I marinated them overnight, kept refrigerated).
  2. Place the chicken onto a non-stick pan, cook on low heat.  Gradually add in the marinade, turning the chicken from side to side.  Cover with lid and cook on medium heat till the chicken is cooked and the marinade reduced.
  3. Fine tune to taste.
  4. Drizzle on the Shaoxing wine and turn off heat.
  5. Dish out and serve immediately.

    It must be very flavourful with fermented bean curd.

    Hi Soke Hah, I just love your style of cooking, no deep frying and it is always so perfect cooking with a non-stick pan. No greasy kitchen I agree. Yet the result is awesome dish for the family. This Shanghai red bean curd is good for marinating meats. I still have a few pieces left. Will try this dish with it. Thanks for sharing.

      You're most welcome, Kimmy. I hate to clean up a greasy kitchen after each meal, that's why I keep frying, especially deep frying to a minimum!

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Yoghurt Fruitcake

T is the festive season again and the all-time favourite for X'mas is undoubtedly the ubiquitous fruit cake.  This Yoghurt Fruitcake caught my eye when I was browsing through a Food and Travel magazine.  As I've never baked a fruit cake with yoghurt before, I was very eager to try.

Simple Oat Cookies ~ 燕麦饼干

 Oat cookies are healthy as they are high in fibre and help in digestion which will keep one full longer.  As they release energy slowly it is best for people who have diabetic issue.  Moreover oats contain magnesium, iron and antioxidants.  These cookies that I am sharing today are very simple and easy to make but you can add a bit of flavour to them by adding chocolate chips, nuts or raisins which are more appealing to kids.
